The enhanced program now provides eligible students with four rides per day, seven days a week and extends the benefit throughout the entire year, including the summer months.

This is a tremendous service. My favorite part is that it gets young people onto transit.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said, “Every child deserves access to a strong educational foundation, and every parent deserves the peace of mind that comes with knowing their child is in a high-quality learning environment. By expanding these opportunities, we are helping our youngest learners build the skills they need to succeed, while providing working families with meaningful support to balance the demands of raising a family and working towards a solid future. This investment in universal Pre-K is a major step forward for children and families across Westchester, and I thank Governor Hochul for her leadership on this.”

Village of Tuckahoe Mayor Cara Kronen said, "Governor Hochul’s investment in universal pre-K will make a meaningful difference for families in the Village of Tuckahoe and across New York State. Expanding pre-K will help ensure that all of our youngest learners, regardless of their families’ income or circumstances, have access to high-quality, nurturing early childhood education while providing essential support to working families"

With all the crazy shit going on nowadays, I love that we still have the wisdom to spend money on children and families.

The program will enforce the 10 mph speed limit in areas surrounding public and private schools throughout the city after a month-long warning phase that began on Aug. 4. Following the warning phase, drivers will now face a $50 civil fine for each speed violation.

So this place opened not long ago and I tried it last week. Basically, it's fine. Would add to my lunch rotation. Parking is kind of annoying tho.

The scientists used lasers to fuse two light atoms into a single one, releasing 3.15MJ (megajoules) of energy from 2.05MJ of input – roughly enough to boil a kettle.

Why do we even study this? Renewables are the only way. This is a waste of money which is a finite resource.

But critics insist the costs of those solar panels are beginning to outweigh the benefits.

Incentive payments to homes with solar, they say, have led to higher electricity rates for everyone else — including families that can’t afford rooftop panels. If so, that’s not only unfair, it’s damaging to the state’s climate progress. Higher electricity rates make it less likely that people will drive electric cars and install electric heat pumps in their homes — crucial climate solutions.

The solar industry disputes the argument that solar incentive payments are driving up rates, as do many environmental activists. But Newsom’s appointees to the Public Utilities Commission are convinced, as they made clear Thursday.

“We need to reach our [climate] goals as fast as we can,” said Alice Reynolds, the commission’s president. “But we also need to be extremely thoughtful about how we reach our climate change goals in the most cost-effective manner.”

When I am having a stroke, I don't stop and calculate of the most cost effective treatment options. I go to the emergency room. We could have done this calculation in 1970 and acted, but that ship has sailed.

When I first read the titile, I thought that the US is going to have to build A LOT to triple global production. Then it occured to me that the author means the US is pledging to make deals and agreements which enable other countries to build their own. Sometimes I think the US thinks too much of itself and that's also very much part of American branding.

Where are my renewable bros at? Tell me this is bad.
